YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE APPLICABLE PRIVACY POLICIES OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND ANY THIRD PARTIES BEFORE PROVIDING THEM WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION.

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION BY Refrigeration Innovation.

We only collect and use personally identifiable information regarding users of the Site or Services as described in this Policy. In addition, we do not process or use personally identifiable information that we collect or that is received from our customers or from other third parties in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or received or subsequently authorized by you.

We may automatically collect personally identifiable information from you when you access the Site or use or access the Services.

The personally identifiable information we may collect from you will include, by way of example:

User-specific and aggregate information on areas of the Site accessed and the Services used;

Username and password information for the Site or Services; and

Other information you volunteer to the Site, through the Services or through other means of communication, such as responses, registrations, surveys, reviews, comments, confirmations, emails, postings, messages, telephone calls, written correspondence or other electronic submissions and communications sent by you to the Site or through the Services.

YOU SHOULD NOT PROVIDE Refrigeration Innovation WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (OR SUBMIT OR POST ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THE SITE OR IN RESPONSE TO ANY EMAIL OR OTHER COMMUNICATION) UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE THAT INFORMATION TO BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS POLICY.

The personally identifiable information that Refrigeration Innovation collects from users of the Site or Services (both registered and unregistered) may be used for a variety of purposes, including by way of example:

Providing the Services;

Customizing advertising or other content displayed on the Site or through the Services;

Customizing the layout of the Site or Services;

COLLECTION AND USE OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION BY Refrigeration Innovation.

Where possible, our server automatically recognizes and collects certain non-personally identifiable information regarding visitors to the Site and users of the Services, including by way of example, IP address, browser type, and other information regarding the system and connection of each visitor or user. We also collect information about how visitors access and use the Site and Services, including by way of example what pages of the Site are viewed and what portions of services are used. When providing the Services, we collect information regarding the performance of the Services, which includes metrics related to the deliverability of emails and other electronic communications.

Sometimes, we utilize the services of a third party to help us understand this information better, although the information that is disclosed to these entities remains at all times in anonymous and non-personally identifiable form. We may also provide this information to our customers in anonymous and non-personally identifiable form.

CHILDREN.

The Site and Services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. Refrigeration Innovation does not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under 13 years of age.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION.

Refrigeration Innovation does not knowingly solicit or collect, and you should not provide, any information regarding your medical or health condition, race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or other sensitive information.

DISCLOSURE AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Though we make every reasonable effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personally identifiable information of certain users of the Site or Services when we have a reasonable and good-faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to enforce the Terms of Use for the Site, comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process, or to otherwise enforce or protect Refrigeration Innovation’s rights under applicable law, including, without limitation, Refrigeration Innovation’s intellectual property rights. In this situation we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of this disclosure to all affected users, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances.

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

On occasion it is necessary to send out service related announcements. For instance, if the Site or any of the Services is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. We also communicate with users to provide customer service in accordance with our Terms of Service. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications without also deactivating their account and ceasing use of the Services. These communications are not promotional in nature.

SPECIAL OFFERS AND UPDATES.

We may send new registrants of the Site or Services a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members may occasionally also receive information on products, services and special deals, and periodic newsletters. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out section.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

California law provides that California residents have a right to request that businesses tell them how their personally identifiable information has been shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. However, there is an exception to this requirement for businesses that have adopted and disclosed, in their privacy policy, a policy of not disclosing a person’s personally identifiable information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes if that person has exercised an option to opt-out of the disclosure of their personally identifiable information to third parties for such purposes.

CHOICE AND OPT-OUT.

We provide you with a choice whether to receive certain emails and other communications through the Site and Services.

We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes. If you are a user of the Site or Services and you no longer wish to receive emails or other communications from us or have your email address or other contact information shared with third parties, you may opt-out of receiving email or other communications from us or having your email address or other contact information shared with third parties. Some communications (e.g. important account notifications and billing information) are considered transactional and are necessary for all Refrigeration Innovation customers. Customers must cancel your Refrigeration Innovation account to unsubscribe you from these communications.

All opt-out requests can be made by emailing us at: service@Refrigeration Innovation.com. Please note that it may take up to 7 days to remove your contact information from our communications lists, so you may receive correspondence from us for a short time after you make your request.

COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS.

“Cookies” include commonly used pieces of information in the form of small files that are placed on an individual’s computer hard drive to enable the individual to more easily communicate and interact with the Site and Services. We may use cookies on the site or in communications sent through the Services for various purposes, including by way of example:

Saving user preferences;

Customizing content of the Site for individual users;

Recording session information;

Saving certain information about users of the Site and others who visit the Site; and

Facilitating and enhancing interaction with the Site.

“Web beacons” (also known as “single-pixel” or “clear” GIFs) include electronic images imbedded in the Site or in communications sent through the Services which are invisible to users. Web beacons collect information, such as identifiers, time and date of access, and descriptions of the pages or communications in which the web beacons are imbedded. The Site and communications sent through the Services may include web beacons. We may use the web beacons on the Site and in communications sent through the Services for various purposes, including by way of example to track users who have visited our Site, viewed advertisements on the Site or in communications sent through the Services, or otherwise accessed communications sent through the Services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

ACCESS, REVIEW, AND UPDATE OF INFORMATION.

Refrigeration Innovation takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current. The users of the Site or Services should email us at service@Refrigeration Innovation.com to review, delete, deactivate, update or change any personal information that was previously provided to or collected by Refrigeration Innovation.

CONSENT TO THE USE OF THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS.

In addition to the specific third parties noted in this Policy, Refrigeration Innovation may also contract with Agents to provide various services to Refrigeration Innovation relating to the Site or Services on an outsourced basis rather than performing the services itself (as used here, “Agents” are persons or companies who act on behalf of or under the direction of Refrigeration Innovation). For example, Refrigeration Innovation may contract with a website hosting provider to host all or a portion of the Site or Services for Refrigeration Innovation.

By visiting the Site or using the Services, all visitors consent to Refrigeration Innovation providing both personal and non-personal information received from those visitors to these Agents for the purpose of enabling the third party provider to provide these outsourced services to Refrigeration Innovation. In addition, all visitors consent to the collection, maintenance, and processing of their personal and non-personal information by Refrigeration Innovation and these Agents.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES.

We will notify users of any changes to this Policy. Notification will be made by way of an email or by posting of the changes on the Site. Changes to this Policy will be effective 30 days following notice. Your continued use of the Site or Services after any change has become effective will constitute your acceptance of that change. Unless we seek and receive consent from a user, we will use information we collect from users in accordance with the version of the Policy effective when the information was last collected. Users may contact us regarding any change to this Policy, including to prevent their information from being used pursuant to any change to this Policy, by emailing us at customers@Refrigeration Innovation.com.

SECURITY.

We will use at least industry standard security measures on the Site to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take all reasonable steps to insure the safety of your personal information. For example, our policy is that only those individuals who need your personally identifiable information to perform a specific job are granted access to that personally identifiable information. Likewise, all employees and contractors are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

ENFORCEMENT.

Refrigeration Innovation encourages individuals covered by this Policy to raise any concerns about our processing of personally information by contacting Refrigeration Innovation as set forth below. Refrigeration Innovation will seek to resolve any concerns.
